Warner has sent over details on a new box set and a three-disc special edition

Further Details:
Warner Home Video has sent over details on the upcoming release of Humphrey Bogart: The Signature Collection Volume Two, which will be available on the 3rd of October at a retail price of around $59.92. The seven-disc set will contain the films Across the Pacific, Action in the North Atlantic, All Through the Night, Passage to Marseille, and the all-new, three-disc special edition of The Maltese Falcon, all in their original aspect ratios. While The Maltese Falcon will be available separately on the same day at a retail price of around $29.92, the other four films in the collection will remain exclusive to the set. Extras for the set will include commentaries on selected titles, 'Warner Night at the Movies' presentations of new and vintage featurettes, classic cartoons, studio blooper reels, radio shows, trailers, and more. In addition to the 1941 Bogart classic, The Maltese Falcon set will also include both previous versions of the story—the 1931 version and Satan Met A Lady from 1936—as well as a new documentary. Also on the same day Warner will be releasing Humphrey Bogart: The Signature Collection Volume One, which features the already available special edition versions of Casablanca and Treasure of the Sierra Madre, along with High Sierra and They Drive By Night at a retail price of around $59.92.

The Big Sleep DVD is interesting in that they give you two cuts of the film. The first cut was never released as the Big Sleep was shelved for a few years, so that all the war pictures could be released before the end of WWII. When they got around to releasing, Bacall was a bigger star, so the film was changed. There are a few scenes where you can see the dialogue was overdubbed.

Dark Passage is a truly innovative movie. You don't see Bogie until halfway through the movie, though you will hear his voice. I can imagine the hack CGI job that a modern director would do with this source.

dsman71 wrote: then it is the Maltese Falcon, They Drive By Night, High SIerra and Treasure of the Sierra Madre... Isnt Dark Passage on DVD ?

Yes, Dark Passage is available on DVD. If you don't want to rent/buy, you can always check Turner Classic Movies. They ran it just a few nights ago.

Actually, the best film he was in was Casablanca. Like it or not, without Casablanca, Bogart's film career would have been vastly different and he would have never had a chance at rolls in Treasure of the Sierra Madre or The African Queen.

Ive never seen any Borgart film, but I am getting ready to watch Dark Passage and soon The Maltese Falcon, & basically all the titles Boggie Volume 1 so I can see if I want it in my collection. I also want to see Dark Passage....

The original box set with Treasure of the Sierra Madre is excellent. It also includes Yankee Doodle Dandy and The Adventures of Robin Hood. All are excellent movies, plus the Night at the Movies is pretty cool with a newsreal, cartoon, and short before the main feature.

Not much of a set since all those are already available. I love Bogie, but I don't see the purpose of that set.

Dark Jedi wrote: Wow what a great set. I wish they'd have added Cassablanca or The African Queen though.

Casablanca is in Volume I being released the same day

You are stalking me !! AHHHH I am very picky in my film Noir choices as so far I have found more that I wasnt into. I used to own the Film Noir Volume 1 & only liked Gun Crazy. I also used to own the Gangsters collection, and again, I found I just wasnt into Gangster/Crime. I am more into Mystery/Suspense Noir or femme fetales ala DOA (this rocked!) and Too late for Tears, and other obscure Alpha titles like Sinister Hands,Rogues Tavern,Wayne Murder Case... My co-worker and I for our amusement have altered/changed titles and replaced key words with the word Buttcrack, such as I was a Teenage Buttcrack, Journey to the Center of the Buttcrack, The Buttcrack from Outer Space, The buttcrack of Sierra Madre, Beavis and Buttcrack...weve come up with a million of them and get some good laughs at work... It's fun

Hey dsman (I swear you'd think I was stalking you on this site, but I'm not... scouts honor*), I'm apes**t over film noir, and if you haven't already, consider looking into Warner's Film Noir Collections. Volume Three comes out soon, along with their Tough Guys Collection. Great films with good supplements for a fair price.

Gun Crazy has been sitting on my desk for several months now... suppose I should get around to watching it...

Being someone that has watched literrally thousands of movies, mostly horror, scifi, fantasy & cult, everything from Godzilla, to King Kong, to silents like Phantom of the Opera, to Frankenstein, Mad Love, Corman movies, Kubrick classics like the Shining & A Clockwork Orange, to Dario Argento movies,Lucio Fulci movies, obsure movies like T-Men, C-Man, Too Young for Tears,etc,etc.etc...I have suddenly gotten into Mystery, Suspense, and Film Noir classics. I am learning more about what I like & dont like in this genre. I liked the movie DOA, Nightmare Alley,Gun Crazy but wasnt into Street with no Name, T-Men or Warner Gangster films. I really enjoy good black & white films for the most part. What does this have to do with Bogart films ? Well nothing. I am just introducing myself to anyone... I have never seen Maltese Falcon or any movies from the first Bogart Volume although my co-workers tell me that they are all great and will let me borrow them all so I can see them all for the very first time. I am looking foward to it to see if I want to add Volume 1 (at least Volume 1)

Of the 40's in general, I love: Citizen Kane, The Pride of the Yankees, It's a Wonderful Life, all the classic Disney animated stuff and I'm sure much more that I'm forgetting.

I'm by no means a classic film historian or anything. Although I'm very interested in some of the films from the past. With a lot of the schlock that Hollywood has been putting out the last 5 years, it's almost all I have that's a near sure thing for worthwhile entertainment.

"Casablanca" is a great film. I just don't think it's as great as everybody says it is. I mean, it is a great and important film, but it seems to get a free ride everywhere. Example: AFI lists, I know that these don't hold THAT much to or from the film, but when it appears 7 times on one list and other good ones are left out in the cold... I am not smoking anything. Uhhh, I never hear anyone quote it (or misquote it) and everyone I know has seen it several times (as have I).

It's no surprise that since Bogie is my all-time fave actor, that Casablanca is my fave film. Haven't heard from too many people who didn't like the film... Johnny, do you care for other Bogie films or films from the 40's?

For me, it's the best thing ever churned out during the Studio System era, and despite the creative stifling that occured, remains for me, the greatest era in cinema.

Sorry. I've tried watching it 3 times now and I still haven't seen the whole thing. It puts me to sleep faster then a bottle of sleep-EZd. So far it's been the only "true classic" that I've tried to watch that's done that.

I've seen it 16 times. It is one of the very few movies that I can watch that often and never tire of. I pretty much know the entire dialogue of the movie.

Well, it won't be released by Warner, seeing as they don't have the rights to it. Looks like CBS/Fox released the laser disc, so one of them has to have the rights. Is this the only movie on the AFI top 100 that hasn't been released on DVD now?

Interesting that they are including the first two incarnations of Maltese Falcon. Not that those really had anything to do with Bogie.

Better than Casablanca? Different? Yes. But better? That's impossible to judge. Maltese Falcon is a movie that you come so close to figuring out (in terms of the plot) but the last twenty minutes crush you. I still love it dearly.

I'd love to buy this set. I have the Errol Flynn Signature Series set and I think it is really well done. I love the Warner Night at the Movies presentations on these SEs, I haven't watched them before the feature though. I usually watch the movies then catch the extras at a later date. I also love these 3 disc or more SEs that contain other versions of the featured movie. I already own the Maltese Falcon but it doesn't have much by the way of extras and I only paid $5 for it, so I don't mind double dipping. I don't think I've ever seen the other movies in this set but I want to.
